We’re looking for a strategic, commercially minded Bid Manager who can take ownership of complex, high-value opportunities from strategy through submission.

• Manage bid governance, risk, compliance, and internal approval processes
• Analyze the competitive marketplace and identify opportunities to strengthen proposals
• Apply strong commercial and P&L understanding to bid strategy and decision-making
• Communicate confidently with executive-level internal and external stakeholders
• Keep multiple high-priority opportunities moving while maintaining exceptional attention to detail

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience managing large, complex, multi-million-dollar bids or commercial opportunities
• Strong commercial acumen with understanding of P&L, pricing, and risk management
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder-management skills
• Comfortable presenting and communicating with CEO, Director, and senior-level decision makers
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, and competing priorities
• Strong understanding of governance, processes, and bid management best practices
• Experience within food manufacturing, foodservice, CPG, private label, or a related industry is highly valued

Why This Opportunity?

⭐ High-visibility role with executive-level exposure

⭐ Opportunity to influence major business wins

⭐ Join a growing national food company with an established market presence

⭐ Strategic role with significant ownership and impact

⭐ Competitive $100K–$120K salary
